Nesidioblastosis in the Adult Surgical Management

Nesidioblastosis is an exceedingly rare occurrence in the adult and, when it appears, it is usually part of a MEA1 syndrome. We present a case of nesidioblastosis in a young woman, with no concurrent endocrine pathology, while we discuss in detail the diagnostic and therapeutic problems posed by thi...

description Nesidioblastosis is an exceedingly rare occurrence in the adult and, when it appears, it is usually part of a MEA1 syndrome. We present a case of nesidioblastosis in a young woman, with no concurrent endocrine pathology, while we discuss in detail the diagnostic and therapeutic problems posed by this condition. The selected treatment was sub-total pancreatectomy (70–80%) and the histopathologic and immunohistochemical tests of the surgical specimen showed: “Diffuse Nesidioblastosis”. The histopathologic and immuno-histochemical features of the resected pancreas are analysed in detail.
